Road Bike Choices and Advice

[Daniel XTR]

I've been toying with the idea of buying a road bike for some, and have decided its about time now, will still keep the MTB, but want a mix.

 

So im not too clued wrt road bikes.

 

I've been looking at the Felt F85, which appears to give really good value at R12.5K its got 105 Components, and seems reasonably well specced,

 

Does anyone round here have any thoughts on the Bike? Quality, value etc?

 

Also what should i be considering with a budget of Max 13K? looking preferably to new, but not completely closed to used albeit, max 18mths old

 

Advice would be most welcome.

 

PS Happy Easter peeps!!!

See what Mercx might be able to help with. He posted a few brand new bikes on the hub that were well specked and the pricing looked very good. Maybe PM him and see what he has.

I like the Felt bikes, the quality of the frames look really good, much better than the regular brands like Raleigh Giant Fuji ect, its the paint job that really impresses .
